    Exactly. Young Norwegians are okay with raiding, not pirating. When you go a-viking, you expect battle and riches, but not from within your homeland but on distant, foreign shores. Sometimes the best loot is to be found in the Christian temples in England, and doubtless it’s them that these youths are okay with stealing from. I know I (as an American with some Norwegian ancestry) am.
